You Must Have A/C Power On For This To Work
Are you having trouble overclocking your GPU?
Try this way ( NTUNE needed for it to work )
When you try to overclock with ntune 99% of the time it reverts back to stock settings unless you go back to the really old drivers
well my friends i think i have cracked it
Open ntune and save the current profile,
The default is nvsutil, save it then close ntune,
goto
X:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\NVIDIA Corporation\nTune\Profiles ( replace x with drive you have it installed )
open nvsultil with notepad or wordpad, it should look something like this ( profile will vary from gpu to gpu )

this is my standard settings before i overclocked anything, now the fun part the overclocked section will be in red for your pleasure lol

exit notepad/wordpad save and overwrite,
now open ntune and load the nvsutil profile and away you go
My cpu went from a 1.8GHz to 2.25GHz And My GPU is set at 450 MHz
now the gpu is still locked out in the settings all you need to do is edit the nvsutil profile to up your speeds.
good luck and i hope it works for all.

P.s

forgot to add i'm running windows XP64 with 176.37 nvidia driver

I commend you on your wonderful effort      . Testing now.

[peterq2]

Most of the 1's and 0's i don't have a clue what they are for, so any feed back on how to improve the settings will be great
thanx

[Andrew55]

SIMPLY... AMAZING!!!       Great work. Now I can use the latest drivers without having to worry about overclocking features. Tested and working with vista home premium 32-bit.  
Most of the 1's and 0's and other numerical values there have to do with RAM timings which are better left alone.
The others are to do with basic settings like gpu fan on and off for example and wouldn't therefore make any difference to performance.

[peterq2]

thank you for the comments in this and the other thread
glad it was not a one off and it worked for you lets hope it will benefit more

[Andrew55]

This thread deserves it! In terms of it benefiting all the affected gpu's most (or all) of which are in the 6 and 7 series, I don't see why not. It seems like a really foolproof idea. But we'll just have to wait on more results to say for sure.

The overclocking problem is probably the result of disabling SBA in the modified INF.
If you remove the line
  HKR,, EnableAGPSBA,                  %REG_DWORD%,    0
from the downloaded INF everything works fine, with no tricks.
nTune set new frequences without problems.

In most original INF's there's no such line, so why it is
added in the laptopvideo2go modified INF's?

pkl

P.S. Also the modifications of the "OverlayMode"s (in INF) may cause
problems with subtitles transparent background in some AVI players.
Have anybode else also observed that?

[peterq2]

Maybe that would work with the modded inf's but the problem would still be there for the original drivers i downloaded mine with the original inf and it wouldn't overclock,
the only way was to do waht i did above.

[pkl]

I'll keep your solution in mind in case mine doesn't work one day

[Andrew55]

Have not tried pkl's solution yet but will certainly get down to it soon.

tried it and it failed and the reason it worked for pkl i think is that his graphics card is the 8000 series and not the 6 or 7 that has the problem.

p.s

forgot to add i tested using driver 177.79 xp64 and had to use my own method to overclock

[Andrew55]

When you consider the amount of variables, more than one solution can come up. But essentially, as always, what works for one person may not necessarily work for all.

[peterq2]

I just hope the solution i posted works for most or atleast those with 6000 and 7000 series cards.

[Andrew55]

Most likely. I don't see why not.

I had the problem with my 8400M. But when I remove the line with "...SBA..."
from the INF file prior installing the driver the problem disappears.
BTW, I use nTune version 5.05.54.00.

But it is very likely things work differently on different
video cards, especially from different series.

Did anyone tried the driver version 176.37 - it is an original
mobile driver from nVidia/acer? It should work with its original
INF file with most nVidia 6xxx, 7xxx, 8xxx and 9xxx mobile cards.

[Ultim8_Evil]

I can't get this method to work for my 9500m GS with the 177.92 drivers :'(

Any solutions?

[Andrew55]

Are you talking about pkl or peterq2's solution?

[aliveanddead86]

Works fine on a 7900GTX... Thanks! Although the BIOS is flashed, just thought I would test this out! I can't overclock my CPU using this method though

[Andrew55]

Are you normally able to overclock your cpu?

[aliveanddead86]

Nope... all it says in the Ntune config is
[ClockSettings]
FSBMHZ=0
AGPMHZ=0

Unfortunatly I couldn't find the T7600G on ebay (Dells unlocked CPU which can be overclocked in the BIOS), only found the T7600
